The wine region of Faugères
Languedoc AOC on signature Palaeozoic schist, foothills of the Massif Central. Dense, mineral reds dominate: vibrant Syrah with signature notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper, garrigue and a smoky touch, tight tannins. Sun-drenched Grenache (ripe cherry, kirsch, spice), Mourvèdre compulsory for depth (leather, game, liquorice) — the only Languedoc AOC to require it. Carignan and Cinsault in support.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Vinification of sweet wines
Moelleux and liquoreux wines are characterized by the presence of residual sugars (natural sugar of the grape), not transformed into alcohol under the effect of yeasts. The fermentation is stopped by cold and by the addition of sulphur dioxide (sulphur).
